Nerdpod: Running backs v3.0

By Paul Honda on October 27, 2016

NERDPOD: Running backs v3.0 The Star-Advertiser and Hawaii Prep World’s Paul Honda breaks down some of the best running backs in the state. Wow. Wowowow. They come at Challen Faamatau in all kinds of ways, none of them friendly. Chisel, blast, avalanche. Whatever it takes, defenses will come at Farrington Governor #13, and he has paid the price. Yet, he never stays down for long. He gets back up and keeps answering the call. Today, we take a look at […]

Waialua could end 61-year league title drought

By Paul Honda on October 27, 2016

Few places on Oahu have gone unchanged over the decades. Waialua remains as vibrant and serene as ever, in its quiet, understated way. Lifetime residents — and coaches — would have it no other way. When the Waialua Bulldogs face Waipahu on Friday night for the OIA Division II football championship, they’ll be chasing history. Waialua placed first the OIA Blue in 1992 when the league had Red, White and Blue Conferences. There were no conference playoffs. Instead, the top […]

Bulldog breakthrough

By Brian McInnis on October 22, 2016

The Waialua Bulldogs looked right at home at the farthest possible football field on Oahu. The cheers from their dozens of red-and-white-clad faithful echoed out across Kaiser Stadium as quarterback Tevesi Toia took a knee behind victory formation and the seconds ticked down on a 19-14 win over Kaimuki in the OIA Division II semifinals on Friday night. Waialua had punched its first HHSAA state tournament berth at long last. Longtime coach Lincoln Barit soaked it in quietly on the […]


GAME NIGHT 10/21: Waialua/Kaimuki

By Hawaii Prep World on October 21, 2016

This might be Waialua’s best shot. The Bulldogs (5-2), who have never played a game in the state tournament, can clinch a berth this season with a victory over the other Bulldogs (5-3) tonight at Kaiser in the semifinals of the OIA Division II playoffs. The two teams return to the site of their Aug. 13 battle that was, perhaps, the most exciting game of the season. Kaimuki survived in overtime, 22-20, when Waialua overthrew the two-point conversion trailing by […]

Another Big Red ‘W’ for the Bulldogs

By Paul Honda on October 15, 2016

In a senior season of clutch victories and championship aspirations, it’s more than OK to have a sentimental moment. After most of the crowd had dispersed at Tosh Nakasone Field, after a 14-12 win by Waialua over Pearl City, placekicker Dylan Hardin made his way atop the press box. All he wanted was a photo of the empty field, its red ‘W’ emblazoned at midfield. The final home game of the season was done. The senior recalled that day more […]

GAME NIGHT 10/14: Pearl City/Waialua

By Hawaii Prep World on October 14, 2016

Seven games with major state tournament implications in most are on tap tonight on Oahu. It’s hard to imagine but Pearl City (5-2, 5-1 OIA D-II) is in the rare position of either finishing with the No. 1 seed in the OIA D-II playoffs with a win over Waialua (4-2, 4-2) or the No. 4 seed with a loss. The Chargers had a five-game winning streak snapped with a 20-17 loss last week to Kaimuki. Waialua has won four of […]

Addition by subtraction: Barit’s key decision

By Paul Honda on October 9, 2016

This head coach has been at his program for decades, a stickler and lifer for the community and school. Lincoln Barit has been with Waialua through pretty much a generation of players, wise and low key through all the ups and downs over the years. The past few seasons have been different in one respect. Barit decided to shutter the Waialua JV football program and have healthy numbers at the varsity level rather than struggle to avoid extreme problems in […]
